Professor Harp

Although born and raised as Hugh Holmes of Boston, Mass., the emanations from his harmonica and vocals make it clear that Professor Harp has the blues of Texas and the whole vast Delta coursing through his veins.

Professor Harp performed with various bands throughout the Northeast, including legends Solomon Burke and Luther ‘Guitar Jr.’ Johnson, and played live on NBC’s Today Show. Among the legions of hot performances at rocking blues clubs, the memories that often stand out for The Professor are the nights his harp helped to swell the room in a spontaneous jam with his old mentor, the inimitable bluesman Muddy Waters.

This show is part of the Summer Concert Series held in our outdoor amphitheater. So, grab your lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy a night of fantastic music. Wine, beer, and soft drinks will be available at the event. The show will move inside our performance…
